I have never saw a clock like this in person. I googled wood turned clocks and some pictures came that called them carriage clocks, so that is why I called it a carriage clock, mantle clock wood make more sense to me. Thanks for the kind comments, and I will be looking forward to learning more about what a carriage clock really is. Good question that has got me wondering now, will have to do some study or wait here for the answer.
After a quick search, I think John is right about the handle, I saw some called mantle, and bandstand also, I would like to know what is the right answer, but for sure it is a clock.
I was going to do a spiel on clocks, but it really doesn't matter. "For each were partially in the right and all were in the wrong"
Wonderful clock.

Funny, that's the first thing I thought when I saw the picture. And I'm not even a clock guy.A carriage clock will have a handle on it made to carry. . This is more of a Pillar clock. Just my opinion.
Nice turnings and nice job.

Lol. It's not all about you John.
My comments were not directed toward any one. Actually you were making your second post as I was making mine and it is quite the same point I was considering... these days, for the most part, what people call clocks has little to do with what the clocks would have been called in their era of invention, origin or greatest use.
Your follow-up was spot-on.

Thanks to all for the kind comments and knowledge. Mark I am sure you will have no problem making one of these. I didn't have any dimensions, just a picture to go by and that added to the time involved, I will be glad to share them if you would like, or let you enjoy the figuring and designing process.
